Us
Directed By: Jordan Peele
Grade: A-
I really wanted to talk about Jordan Peele’s new movie Us. So I’m going to split it here- the first part of this will be just a regular review what I thought of the movie. Then the second part spoilers.
Space Les Mis: Sky Without Stars
Sky Without Stars
By: Jessica Brody & Joanne Rendell
Released on: March 26th
This book is being described as Les Mis meets the Lunar Chronicles so naturally I had to read this immediately! When there was a chance to do a Fantastic Flying Book Club tour I jumped at the opportunity. Many thanks to them and the publisher for providing the arc.
Daisy Jones & the Expectations Game
Daisy Jones & The Six
By: Taylor Jenkins Reid
70’s era drugs, sex and rock & roll by the author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo… yeah, this was a a little high on my most anticipated reads list this year. Even the subject matter appeals to me so it hurts to admit…
It fell a little flat.
Things Not Conducive to Blogging
Probably the main thing not conducive to blogging or keeping up right now is abdominal surgery and a stomach full of stitches. I told myself I wasn’t going to bother with posting or even scheduling posts but I had really been hoping to keep up with reading and commenting and that just didn’t happen.
No One Can Really Keep a Secret
Two Can Keep a Secret
By: Karen M. McManus
So you’re going to live with grandma for a little while in a town you’ve never seen. You know it only because your Aunt disappeared from there and was never seen again. Or how about the body of a high schooler found at the murder theme park?
Or how about the hit and run victim you find on your way into town from that airport?
Superhero Questions & Aqua-thoughts that Have Been Bugging Me
So after seeing Captain Marvel, rewatching Aquaman and generally having insomnia right now I made a list of some of the superhero movie thoughts and questions that have been bugging me. Not just why doesn’t Mera take control of Atlantis cause she’s certainly powerful and smarter than Orm…

The Only Time I’d Ever Say War Looks Good
After what feels like forever a new and longer Good Omens trailer dropped and we got a look at some characters in action. And naturally when I saw War (Mireille Enos) the first thing I thought was… oh do I like the hair. I mean if you’re going to be one of the Horseman of the Apocalypse you should definitely have a good look to you!

Space is too Big & Cool for Earth Style Bullshit…
Honor Bound
By: Ann Aguirre and Rachel Caine
So after the first book Honor Among Thieves once the MC Zara bonds with the Leviathan ship I couldn’t help think there were certain elements that where described as near sexual. Not to mention Zara’s growing attraction to her ship mate Bea.
And yeah, she starts thinking threesome with the ship here. Which naturally made the super mature me go, “I knew it!”
But also where would alien space ship fall under sexuality? I suppose that’s definitely in the old “other” category on the old book chart I’m keeping this year.

Family, Wrestling & the Rock: Fighting with My Family
Fighting with My Family
Directed By: Stephan Merchant
I must admit going into Fighting with My Family I never understood the pull of wrestling and apart from a period of time in high school when my family was into it never paid much attention wrestling.
But hey I hadn’t been to the cinema since Glass so I gave it a go.

I Don’t Need Much…
On Tuesday, actually sometime Monday night I suppose, I’m going to own Aquaman. Then I will be able to study it in all its glory. Essays. Dissertations. Or I’ll probably just endlessly watch it. Also Tuesday Taylor Jenkins Reid’s new book Daisy Jones and the Six will be released and I am ready!
So all in all it should be a good entertainment week. And Captain Marvel!
